how much oil consumption is normal

Post by era1097 » Mon Feb 03, 2014 8:20 pm

After restoring my era,
I now enjoy riding it.
But i can not find anything about the oil consumption of a era.
What is normal 1 liter on 1500 miles or is this high.
I would like to find out what the bench mark is for a era turbo.
What is normal and what is too high.
So you can check if your engine is running like a normal one.
Or you have a problem.

My era is hibernating in the shed so I can't comment on it's oil consumption as I haven't driven it much, but I don't remember my other mini using that much oil although 1 liter per 1500 miles doesn't sound that bad. As long as there isn't much visible smoke (a bit on startup maybe from oil sitting in the turbo) I personally wound't worry about it. Are there any leaks?
